Some Things Just Stick In Your Mind (Jagger/Richard)

Why does the sky turn grey every night
Sun rise again in time 
Why do you think of the first love you had
Somethings just stick in your mind

Why does the rain fall down on the earth
Why do the clouds keep crying
Why do you sleep curled up like a child
Some things just stick in your mind

Why when the children grow up and leave
Still remember their nursery rhymes
Why must there be so much hate in their lives
Some things just stick in their minds


I Want To Be Alone  (Bunyan) 

You know there are times when I don’t need you
But you seem to think it means
I don’t love you – but I do
But sometimes I want to be alone
Somewhere on my own

I don’t know why it is but I sometimes feel
That I have to get away
Yet I know I love you
But sometimes I have to be alone
Somewhere on my own

Don’t make me stay to walk aimlessly
Hand in hand – just today set me free
Let me be alone

Tomorrow I may find that I can’t go through
Even one more lonely hour
Without you - yet it’s true
That sometimes I have to be alone
Somewhere on my own
Let me be alone


Train song  (Bunyan-Clayre) 

Travelling north, travelling north to find you
Train wheels beating, the wind in my eyes
Don’t even know what I’ll find when I get to you
Call out your name love, don’t be surprised

It’s so many miles and so long since I’ve met you
Don’t even know what I’ll find when I get to you
But suddenly now I now where I belong
It’s many hundred miles and it won’t be long
It won’t be long, it won’t be long, it won’t be long

Nothing at all in my head to say to you
Only the beat of the train I’m on
Nothing I’ve learnt all my life on the way to you
Only our love that’s over and gone

It’s so many miles and so long since I’ve met you
Don’t even know what I’ll find when I get to you
But suddenly now I know where I belong
It’s many hundred miles and it won’t be long


Love Song  (Bunyan) 

I love your eyes when you look away
Thinking somewhere else of what ought to be
When they’re suddenly blue for a moment of time
Then the colour goes when you look at me

I love your hands as a part of you
As they write a word just by staying still
When you talk they move painting what you say
And I understand more than words can Tell

I love your hair – in the dark it’s soft,
In the light it moves – red and green are brown
All the time it takes for a night to pass 
And a lifetime grows as the day comes down

I love you now as you don’t love me
I can’t let you know – you’re too far away
But I wonder now just what did you see
When you looked at me in that loveless way


Winter Is Blue  (Bunyan) 

Winter is blue living is gone
Some are just sleeping, in spring they’ll go on
Our love is dead, nothing but crying
Love will not find even one more new morning

Why must I stay here, rain comes I’m sitting here
Watching love moving away into yesterday

Winter is blue, everything’s leaving
Fires are now burning and life has no reason
I am alone waiting for nothing
If my heart freezes I won’t feel the breaking

Why must I stay here, rain comes I’m sitting here
Watching love moving away into yesterday


Coldest Night Of The Year  (Mann-Weill) 

Baby baby it’s late and you’d better go - it’s after three
Honey please have a heart just look at that snow have pity on me

I can feel that north wind blowing and the fire is oh so warm
Well I know you should be going but how can I send you out in that storm

Baby it’s cold out there – and it’s getting colder
Baby it’s cold out there getting colder
Matter of fact better cuddle up here - it’s the coldest night of the year


Baby baby I know if you wanted to - you’d brave the snow
But I haven’t been well I might catch the flu or a cold in my nose

Let’s snuggle close together while the whole world turns to ice
Just the victims of the weather sending you home now just wouldn’t be nice

Baby it’s cold out there – and it’s getting colder
Baby it’s cold out there getting colder
Matter of fact better cuddle up here - it’s the coldest night of the year

Ok? Why not….


I'd Like To Walk Around In Your Mind (Bunyan)

I’d like to walk around in your mind someday
I’d like to walk all over the things you say to me

I’d like to run and jump on your solitude
I’d like to re-arrange your attitude to me

You say you just want peace and to never hurt anyone
You see the end before the beginning has ever begun

I would disturb your easy tranquillity
I’d turn away the sad impossibility of your smile

I’d sit there in the sun of the things I like about you
I’d sing my songs and find out just what they mean to you

But most of all I’d like you to be unaware
Then I’d just wander away
Trailing palm-leaves behind me
So you don’t even know that I’ve been there
 

If In Winter (100 Lovers)  (Bunyan-Clayre) 

If in winter he should change and leave me
I'd let him go and learn to do without him
Oh I'd have a hundred lovers and my heart would not be broken
And all the lies he's spoken I'd whisper to the others

Oh it's winter now and he has changed and left me
I let him go and now I am without him
I don't want a hundred lovers and my heart it is so broken
And all the lies he's spoken I whisper to myself


Girl's Song In Winter  (Bunyan-Clayre) 

There was a man when I was young
He lived a year with me
But the year was up and that song was sung
And his wish was to be free
His wish was to be free

I was in love when I was young
And I’ve not been free again
That’s a promised fruit when you’ve first begun
That ripens into pain

I had a child when I was young
The last gift that man gave
I wish that he could hold his son
And the snow in the air lie on my grave
The snow lie on my grave

   
Wishwanderer  (Bunyan) 

You ask me where I live  
Don’t you know I live here now
But where is my one real home 
This minute with you now
Home is where I stayed last night
Tomorrow’s anywhere
If you let me stay with you tonight
Tomorrow’s home will be here

Home has been so many roads
That I walk down in my sleeping
Here with you I’m home at last
But it’s not home for my keeping
You won’t miss me when I’m gone
This isn’t my place
And my loves are few and don’t belong
To any one lover’s face

So don’t ask me where I’ll go
If you do I will lie to you
But I’ll tell you of the place that is never my home
Where I’ve lived all my life
Where I sing
A wishwanderer’s song
A wishwanderer’s song
A wishwanderer’s song
   

Don't Believe  (Bunyan) 

You say that you'll always love me
That you'll never leave me blue
Don't you know that that's all fallacy
Don't you know it's not true

You may want the love they talk about
But it isn't like they say
You will find that come tomorrow
You won't feel this way

When you say that you're in love with me
Do you really know what you mean
Or are you saying it because you've heard of it
Or because of something you've seen

Oh don't believe that love brings happiness
Gone tomorrow here today
Love involves so much unhappiness
Don't believe what they say


Seventeen Pink Sugar Elephants  (Bunyan-Jenny Lewis)
 
I saw seventeen pink sugar elephants
Sitting under a chestnut tree
I said good morning pink sugar elephants
But they wouldn’t speak to me

Each had two eyes but they couldn’t see me there
Each had four legs but they couldn’t go anywhere
And so we just sat
That early autumn morning
Sun not yet risen and magic everywhere

I walked up to one pink sugar elephant
Asked why wouldn’t he speak to me
But he was a factory-made pink sugar elephant
Given to children for treats after tea

He had two eyes but he couldn’t see me there
He had four legs but he couldn’t go anywhere
And so we just sat 
That early autumn morning
Sun not yet risen and magic everywhere

(This for John who always wanted a third verse)

Why would I ever think an elephant 
Made of sugar would speak to me?
But what were seventeen pink sugar elephants
Doing under a chestnut tree?


I won't say (Bunyan) (On limited edition only)

I won’t say come with me everywhere I go
I won’t say where are you please I’ve got to know
You’ve got your life and I’ve got mine
I’ve got no right to call you mine
When I know you can’t give your life to me

I won’t say please love me every single day
I won’t try to stop your freedom in any way
I’ve got my life and You’ve got yours
I didn’t realise this beforen ow I know
You can’t give your life to me

And you can’t say you will love me forever
Say you will leave me never
If I don’t know what tomorrow will bring
I can’t ask you for everything

I won’t say come with me everywhere I go
I won’t say come with me please I’ve got to know
You’ve got your life and I’ve got mine
I’ve got no right to call you mine
When I know you can’t give your life to me

Autumn Tears (Bunyan)

In the morning when I walk along
And it's been raining all night
It seems the rain is all the tears that I cried last night

When I walk along through autumn leaves 
That must have fallen last night
It seems the leaves are all the tears that I cried at night

If he doesn't come back soon
The streets will never be dry
If he doesn't come back - the road-sweeper
Will never clear away my tears

And I know I just won't sleep tonight
I'll watch the rain and hear the wind
Blowing all my tears down to the street


Leave Me (Bunyan)

When you said you would leave I thought that I would die
 I thought I couldn't live anymore if you weren't here by my side
But now go, and leave me I don't care anymore
I don't care if I never see you no more

I'll always think of you
And of the love we knew
But I don't care anymore

When you said you would leave me I didn't know what to do
I couldn't face the thought of living my life without you
But now go, and leave me
I don't care anymore
I don't care if I never see you no more

I'll always think of you and of the love we knew
But I don't care any more, I don't care anymore, I don't care anymore


How Do I Know (Bunyan)

How do I know that those mountains aren't cardboard
How do I know that the world is round
Why should I know just because you've told me
There's molten rock underneath my ground

How do I know there's a god in the sky
Looking down and hearing me
Why should you say I can't love any man
Have his children and still be free

Go on voting, striking and fighting
Go on searching, hiding and laughing

I can't change you I can't even try
But let me live like I think I can
Then when it's time for me to say goodbye
I'll have lived just a part of man

Go on voting, striking and fighting
Go on searching, hiding and laughing

I can't change you I can't even try
But let me live like I think I can
Then when it's time for me to simply die
I'll have lived just a part of man


Find My Heart Again (Bunyan)

Ever since you said goodbye I haven't known what to do cos
I haven't wanted to try to find myself someone new cos
I just want to be with you
How can I give myself to somebody else yet
So I'll just stay alone
Until I get over you and the love we knew
And I find my heart again

I know it wouldn't be fair to try to love someone new cos
I'd only want you to be there and make believe he was you cos
I I just want to be with you
How can I give myself to somebody else yet
So I'll just stay alone
Until I get over you and the love we knew
And I find my heart again


Go Before the Dawn (Bunyan)

Go before the dawn starts a breaking
And my eyes show the sun how much I cried
Go before my arms start their aching
To have you once again right by my side

The more you stay the more you remind me
My love for you was never meant to be
Let me leave these memories behind me
So I can let my loneliness go free

Thought I'd never want to be apart from you
But all I ever got was a broken heart from you

Oh go on your way I'll forget you
Don't lie to me through one more hurting day
I'll believe I never even met you
I know we'll both be happier that way


I Don't Know What Love Is (Bunyan)

I don't know what love is, I can't say
What it is that makes me feel this way
But when I lookaa  at you it's then `I know
That I could follow you wherever you go

Oh I don't know what love i but it seems
That every night you creep into my dreams
Then comes bright new morning and in my heart
I know it's one day closer to when we will part

But then you come
And then I know
That I won't ever want you to go

Oh I don't know what love is, I never will
But when you're gone from me I know I'll still
Want you to be with me and wonder why 
Ther never was a love for you and I


Love You Now (Bunyan)

I don't say I'll love you forever baby
I don't say I'll love you forever
But I know that I love you now

Dunno what tomorrow will bring baby
Dunno what tomorrow will bring
But I hope it can be like now

When you're near me
I want it to stay that way
But if a new dawn breaks
Please understand baby

I can't say I'll love you forever 
Though I want to love you forever
I can only say that I love you now


I know (Maude)

Don't tell me you're going away I know
And don't say what you're going to say I know

Don't expect me to cry
Don't even say goodbye
And don't say life's like that you know I know

And don't tell me I'm just a kid I know
And how you loved the things we did I know

Don't say that it's a shame 
And that life's just a game
Just pack your case
And turn your face and go

For I am not the same when you're not with me
Take away the bank and I will flow

And don't tell me that flowers must die I know
And that the cup runs dry sometimes I know

But I have drunk my fill
And quite fulfilled my will
And now there's nothing left to spill or show

Oh darlin I am not the same without you
You just light the fuse and I will blow

All you have to do my love – is go


Someday (Bunyan)

I love you, you love me
but somehow we're not happy
so it seems if we don't part
we'll stay in love unhappy

but if I leave you and you leave me
we'll start to want eachother
and we'll think back to the love we had
and we'll think of it as happy 

so it will go on
till the day we realise
that love needn't always mean happiness

so - think of all the time to come
other things can make us happy
and with no illusions our love will live
and someday, someday, someday we'll be happy
